Nourish Skin Care

There are so many skincare product ranges out there and to be honest I do tend to stick to that one brand that I am used to. But me being me, I do love to try out new things and love showing you my readers the options we have out there when it comes to our skincare routine.

I will be honest, I had never heard of Nourish skin care before I wrote this post. I looked through their website and I noticed the difference between the products I buy regularly and their products right away.  The Nourish brand is completely focused on vegan and organic skincare. Their products are free from harmful chemicals, mineral oils and silicones. Instead they use all organic ingredients and natural extracts. Probably like a lot of you out there, I have never paid full attention to what is actually in my skincare products. With nourish I know exactly what is in there and its really good to know that they are all made to be the best for your skin and really give it that glow.

I was asked to test and review their Kale Enzymatic Exfoliating Cleanser – £16.50 50ml  This is a multi tasking treatment, you get 3 treatments in one product. Cleanser, facial and face-mask. I found this really exciting, I don’t get to test one I get to test all three.

1. Cleanser – I decided to use my Magnitone brush (£69.99 – magnitone.co.uk)  to test out the cleanser aspect of the cream. After using my Nivea cleanser with my Magnitone since I got it, I was excited and apprehensive to see the outcome. The cleanser is really good, the smell was a little strange to begin with. The scent made me think of the Vicks inhaler that you use when you get a blocked nose, but after using it a few times the scent becomes somewhat familiar and comforting. My skin was really clean, soft and felt good all day.

2. Revitalising Facial – This is a great feature, perfect when you have had that long day and need to relax. Use the cleanser scrub as a mask by rubbing it all over your face, remember and avoid the area around your eyes. Leave it on for 5 mins and use your toner or water to soften it, massage gently and then rinse with cold water. This one is perfect on the morning, when your eating your breakfast, drinking your tea. I used this before work and it really gives you a cute morning glow and it makes you feel awesome, ready to go!

3. Exfoliating Mask – Use this everyday in your skin care routine for that amazing ready to go skin. Rub onto dry skin for 2 mins and then rinse. Its pretty much the same directions that you get for all exfoliators. The outcome of this cleanser/exfoliator is far better than what I have used. It is so soft and so easy to apply, it leaves your skin smelling so fresh and clean. Like I have went and got a full body scrub at a a fancy spa.

Nourish skincare is such an eyeopener. I honestly wish I had paid more attention to my skin, and what I was using over the years. The results from using this are unbelievable, my skin has never looked or felt so good. The range is slightly dearer than other products in this category, but I have to say it is worth it. With Nourish, the ingredients are fresh, organic and really do leave your skin feeling good. You can easily change or add this into your skincare routine. After using this one product, I would love to try more from them. The end results from this one product is enough for me to change my skincare routine completely.

Saturday Pampering Session With Eve Lom

DSCN2088

After a long week, I was ecstatic this morning to find this in the post. Since its Saturday and my other half is on a stag weekend, I thought I would treat myself to a pampering session.

Not actually knowing who this company was, I got the laptop out and did a simple google search. The first thing I noticed was that the basket total look like this £000.00, meaning I was in for some serious spending or a serious shock. After a look through, I found the product I got sent – 50ml for £35.00 and 100ml for £55.00, not as bad as I thought. Best thing to do –  put it to the test!

Like all face-masks this was great fun!! 20 minutes in a relaxing bath, face-mask on at 9am is my ideal weekend! The mask can be used 2-3 times a week or as an emergency stress mask. Apply to your skin (avoiding your eye area), leave it on for 20 minutes, then using a towel wipe the mask off and clean your face with some cold water.

As I lay in my bath, face-mask and all I was thinking about the price of the face-mask and if it was worth it. Here is my conclusion, after researching the brand, it seems to be in high demand, a luxury brand and award winning. With that said £35.00 for 50ml, I received a 5ml sample, which did one mask and I still had some left over. Meaning that you would get 10 masks or more from the 50ml and it would cost £3.50 for each mask. Considering this is a luxury brand, and the results of my mask this morning, I would say Eve Lom rescue mask is an investment!

The mask leaves your skin feeling clean, fresh and airbrushed! I will definitely be putting my pennies by to invest in a full bottle!
